A luxury stay in a well run historical setting.
Pros:

Michelle welcomed me and smoothed my way to a happy stay. The other staff were excellent as well.

Cons:

The parking situation is, as expected, hard to deal with. I cannot offer suggestions. The noise on the street could be abated with double glazed windows. The surfaces the staff could reach in the breakfast room were immaculate, but the mirrors above the buffet need attention.

Pros:

The hotel is lovely and the staff is EXCELLENT! They are professional, friendly, kind and supportive. We stayed several times while visiting my brother in and of ICU until he passed this week. This was a time of tremendous stress, anxiety and fear and heartache. Every stay I was greeted with loving smiles and sincwre words of encouragement. I looked forward to arriving back to the hotel after long days at the hospital where I felt cared for and safe. A special thanks to everyone especially Ms. Michele & Adam.

Cons:

There is absolutely nothing to dislike about the Chestnut Hill Hotel. The only request would be a more substantial hotel breakfast even if there is a cost.

Lovely and comfortable.
Pros:

The hotel is adorable and so well appointed. The area is very quaint. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was lovely.

Cons:

Small complaint. The shampoo and conditioner dispenser should be mounted in the shower wall opposite the shower head so as not to get blasted with water when dispensing product. Otherwise, everything was perfect.

We will be Back!!
Pros:

The Chestnut Hill Hotel was the Perfect overnight place to stay!!

Cons:

The ONLY issue i can think of, was parking. However, we were there Saturday into Sunday, and after 6pm parking on the street was unlimited.

A home away from home
Pros:

I am always grateful for the personal touch and unique atmosphere of this hotel. The desk staff are always personable and kind, especially Michelle! The breakfast is a cut above the usual continental fare, and the restaurant has a wonderfully eclectic menu.

I enjoyed my stay with my friends.
Pros:

Booking the rooms for myself and a friend proved unnerving through booking.com. My friend was charged at a higher rate with much higher taxes for no particular reason as we were on the same floor in the exact same style rooms and no justification for the extra charges.

Cons:

The dining room needs improving and breakfast is less than adequate.

Pros:

The kindness of the staff! She even came out to my car to give me my parking pass late at night when it was freezing cold. How kind!
Easy check-in. Quiet comfortable stay. Great breakfast. Thank you !

Cons:

Only that room 202 is so close to the elevator you can hear it but it is a very quiet elevator. So nothing so bad!

An entirely lovely experience
Pros:

The hotel is a beautiful old building on the main street of a charming town. The room was large and well appointed with many thoughtful touches. Staff were all exceptionally kind and helpful. The breakfast had a generous array of fresh fruits, juices, coffee, teas and high quality standards like Greek yogurt, eggs and pastries.
